Yeah, I did know that but I figured I might as well get it working with the signed key since the ultimate goal is to install it as a shared assembly in the gac. > > Where did you end up putting the .snk file to get it to build?

Oddly enough, where I ended up placing it was one directory higher than the base log4net directory. So let's say I have the log4net directory which, in turn, contains all the extensions, src, bin, etc. directories in a directory called "usefull_stuff"... well I ended up putting the key file in that "usefull_stuff" directory! It was totally odd that it could find it there without the assembly file pointing there (which it is most definitely not). To recap (I'm not sure how clear I was in the original email) I was just miscounting where the file should go and then, in desperation, starting going up one directory at a time until it worked. Rather than let me get to root and still not work, for some odd reason it worked at one directory above the log4net base directory. > At first glance, I would have thought the > .snk needs to be in the root /src folder and everything knows to find > it there. It sounds like that's not the case. No, the starting point would be %Project Directory%\obj\<configuration> just as the assembly file default comments say. So, in the case of the core log4net assembly that was log4net\src\obj\Release and for the EventID extension that was log4net\extensions\net\1.0\log4net.Ext.EventID\cs\src\obj\Release. Then each of those specified that I go up 3 and 4 directories, respectively, which puts the log4net key file in the log4net directory (alongside the log4net.snk.readme file...) and the EventID one in the log4net\extensions\net\1.0\log4net.Ext.EventID. The only other hitch I ran up against was I needed to have built a strongly named version of log4net first and made sure to redefine the reference in the log4net.Ext.EventID project to point to that strongly named log4net assembly. Only then could I put both of those assemblies in the gac and have my test app log successfully. It makes sense, but I just wasn't thinking of it since the extension project already had a reference set up. :) -- 533777336444244
